We had a great time staying with Sarah and Billy for a week. As many of the listings for Detroit mention, you should be OK with Detroit if you want to stay in Detroit. What that meant in this neighborhood was a mix of very nicely maintained houses with decrepit abandoned houses and vacant lots full of wildflowers. We have experience living and traveling in urban areas in several countries, so we were not too surprised by the state of the neighborhood and felt comfortable for several reasons. Sarah and Billy have two big dogs, they seem to be friends with many of the neighbors, and the neighbors also greeted us and made us feel welcome.
We enjoyed preparing our own food in their kitchen and spending some time chatting with them in the evenings.
If you do decide to stay here, you should be comfortable with big, jumpy, friendly, enthusiastic dogs.
The experience had sort of a roommate feel to it (which is what we wanted), not a bed and breakfast feel. Everything was clean and there were fresh flowers from the garden around the house, but it's basically a good place to crash while exploring Detroit.

Sarah and Billy are amazing, sweet, wonderful, kind people who love Detroit. You need to know this is a very urban area. If that bothers you at all, this is not the place for you. Both Sarah and Billy were very helpful in giving directions and offering advice on things to do. Their location has easy access to the major highways, very easy to get around. Their home is clean and well maintained. The dogs are very sweet and are working on their manners :)

I only stayed one night with Sarah and Billy as I was just passing through Detroit, but I would certainly recommend choosing to stay with them. Billy was working when I arrived, so I mostly spent time with Sarah. She's very friendly, bright, intelligent and considerate. Another person was staying in their additional room and she drove us out to a brewery for dinner/drinks then showed us some areas of the city that we otherwise wouldn't have seen. Her knowledge of the city and its history is very good, so her 'tour' was very informative. The house is decorated in a really lovely way and the room I stayed in was very comfortable. She had coffee and bagels/cereal if anybody wanted it for breakfast and drove me to the bus station on her way to work. I'm just sorry I didn't get to spend more time with her. And the price is fantastic! Many thanks again, Sarah!

I stayed with Sarah and Billy with two other friends and all of us were in love with them,their place and their dogs!
Detroit has proven to be a really special place and staying with Billy and Sarah really made us feel at home in this wonderful city!

Stay with Sarah and Billy! Seriously. My Detroit experience would not have been the same without them. They're great people and true locals, so they will show you some amazing things that you won't find otherwise. Their house is lovely; clean and comfortable. Sarah has a cute garden and Billy makes a great espresso.

Sarah and Billy are absolutely amazing! We came to town on a whim and randomly met them, they opened up their home and their lives and welcomed us right in. We went exploring in an abandoned theater, drank great beers, and she cooked us up some goodness straight from her garden. I've since sent other airbnb folks their way because really, no one should see the city of Detroit through anyone else's eyes than Sarah and Billy.
